GoodWe GW8000-ET-20 Hybrid Inverter 8kW Three-Phase
The GoodWe GW8000-ET-20 is the 8kW three-phase hybrid inverter of the ET G2 series, designed for residential and small-business PV systems with high-voltage storage (battery range 150-720V, 500V nominal). It manages 2 independent MPPTs with 16A per tracker, a maximum PV voltage of 1,000V and an MPPT range of 120-850V, and accepts up to 12,800W of installed PV power.
For storage it reaches 30A continuous charging and discharging, with 12,000W charging power and 8,800W discharging. The three-phase back-up function delivers 8,000VA (up to 16,000VA peak) and starts automatically in the event of a grid outage. Maximum efficiency is 98.0% (97.2% European), protection is IP66 with natural convection cooling (no fans) and communications include Wi-Fi, LAN, Bluetooth, RS485 and CAN as standard. Type II surge arresters are integrated on both the DC and AC sides; AFCI for arc fault detection is available on the dedicated versions.
